Do you provide VET services-work for a Registered Training Organisation [RTO]?
If so – the Independent Education Union of Australia WA Branch is your union!
Along with RTOs, the IEUA WA Branch covers workers in non-government schools and ELICOS throughout Western Australia.
An RTO is defined as an education and training organisation that provides education and training to persons over the age of 16 years who have exited the school education system.

- Beauty
- Pilates

- Occupational Health & safety
- Transport
- Sport and Recreation
- Science & Technology

In discussions with union members from RTOs, some of the most common questions we get asked are:
- Am I under an Award? If so, which one?
- Am I being paid the correct rate for my qualifications?
- Should I be paid for all the hours I work or just the hours I teach?
- I’ve been a casual for years – when am I going to get a permanent job?
- Do I have an entitlement to long service leave and superannuation? If not, why not?
